Lithium burns in air, 2 of 5. A piece of lithium (Li) metal is ignited with a Bunsen burner. Lithium catches fire and burns with a bright flame. Lithium reacts with oxygen (O2) in the air to produce white lithium oxide (Li2O): Li + O2 -> Li2O. Lithium also reacts with nitrogen (N2) in the air to produce reddish-pink lithium nitride (Li3N): Li + N2 -> Li3N. | |
